Jesus was Palestinian

Something commonly said by the performatively woke, more for its shock value than for any sense of history. In reality, Jesus was a Jew whose entire shtick depended on him being allegedly descended from King David of Judah, i.e. on him being not only Jewish, but a Judahite specifically. He was also literally born in Judah, allegedly.

"Jesus was Palestinian!"

"Do you want to take on the burden of antisemitism and the violence Jews have experienced at the hands of Christians since Jesus was killed by the Romans? Unless you do, don't appropriate our ancestors."

Jesus was Palestinian

A nativizing settler-colonial narrative used by descendants of Arab colonists to falsely claim a Jew as Arab. Just as wrong, and offensive, as saying Montezuma was Spanish.

"Wow, so that's why he was called King of the Palestinians"
